1.3mn households to get 500-eu

Over 1.3 million Italian households are to get a 500-euro 'social card' benefit from the government as of September 9th, the farm ministry said Monday.
    From Monday 9 September the government will distribute the new 'Dedicated to You' card worth 500 euros per household for groceries, fuel or local-transport season tickets, announced the Ministry of Agriculture, Food Sovereignty and Forestry.
    The beneficiaries will be 1,330,000 households, with an ISEE (means test) income of less than 15,000 euros a year.
    The card can be collected at post offices after receiving the communication from the municipality of residence. Citizens benefiting from other public contributions are excluded.
    "From the Meloni government a concrete help," said Farm Minister Francesco Lollobrigida.
